There And Back: A Furry Novel

The Apology

-Isaiah-
I walk into my office at the Sheriff's office, and who do I see? Chases mom.
"Well now, what brings you into my office Mrs. Conrad?" I say.
"I wanted to see if I could make amends with my son" she says.
"That would be up to them both, considering they're about to get married" I say.
Quickly, I pick up the phone and call Chase.
-Chase-
Four years have passed since my life for better. My mom went to jail for neglect and child abuse. Now, I'm in Norfolk with the love of my life and getting married to my mate.
I was having a nightmare, the same one I've had, of my mom beating me. I wake up breathing heavy, and a certain dally wakes me up and had to calm me down, he wrapped his arms around me and calmed me down.
A few minutes later the Hello Moto ringtone on my phone goes off, it's Mr. Marshall. I wonder what he wants so early. I hand it to Ezekial.
"Hey dad," said Ezekial, "what's up?"
"Let me speak with Chase, it concerns a certain someone he knows," said Isaiah.
"Hello," I say yawning as I talk.
" Chase, your mom is out of jail. She wants to see you in person." He said.
" Why the fuck would I want to see her after the hell she put me through?" I say.
"Chase, she wants to apologize I person, so I'm going to fly you and Ezekial here. I've cleared it with his superior and your boss at the mechanic shop, you leave in 4 hours" he said.
"Ok, well leave in a half hour, see you soon." I say.
My mate was giving me a puzzled look as I explained the situation to him. He growled a little, but I calmed him down.
"We do this as a team, no more lone wolf stuff," said Ezekial.
"I know, that's why I love you" I say.
-Time lapse: 3pm PST-
We land at LAX airport. Things are the same as I remembered them. We got into my old truck, yes I still have it, and drove it to our house in Malibu.
-Ezekial-
We got to our Malibu house about 2 hours later. It was almost 5, we had to meet them at 6.
"Everything will be ok, Chase, I'll be right here next to you, I WON'T let her hurt you EVER." I say.
"Thanks babe, Im just nervous. I wonder if she has changed any since we last saw her getting arrested freshman year." Said Chase.
At that precise moment, the doorbell to our house rings. Ezekial answers the door.
-Chase-
"Babe, we have visitors" said Ezekial.
"Bring them in the great room" I say.
-Mrs. Conrad-
I look around the house, and see that it's a lot nicer than the house me and Chase used to live in.
"Hello, son, what a lovely house you have. I see you and Ezekial are doing well." I say
"Thank you, we worked hard on this house, it's custom built for us, but i don't suppose that's the reason you came, is it? To do small talk about my home and any other topic" said Chase.
"Look, son, the reason I came by is because I wanted to apologize for the way I acted. I know there's no excuse, and I know that my actions were bad. I just wanted to let you know that Ezekial has my blessing. I see now that he really loves you. I will be at the wedding if you will have me. I want to be in your life, and I want you to be happy. It took me 3 years in prison to figure out that" I say" please give me a chance.
-Chase-
I sit there listening to what my mom said. I looked at my mate in the eyes, and without saying a word, he nodded. We have this kind of relationship where he can read my thoughts.
"Ok, mom. We will give you a chance, just don't disappoint me again. Next time, I WON'T be so nice" I say.
-Authors Note-
It looks as though Chase and his mom are getting through their rough spot in their relationship.
Always remember, being there for your partner, whether straight or gay, is about support. If you aren't there, and there's a lot of arguments in your relationship, you probably shouldn't be together. I learned this recently.
Stay strong. Stay Pawsitive. Stay pawsome. Thanks for the read.
